<TITLE>20. Par 65-68</TITLE>L-65 There's supposed to be two little boys here from up north (Did they arrive?), that was born deaf and dumb: two little boys born deaf and dumb, the little twins that come from up above Sturgis, Michigan. They're supposed to be here this morning, both of them born deaf and dumb. Are they here (Raise your hand.) from Sturgis, Michigan? If they're here, I want you to bring them up and let's use them for an example to show you God can make the deaf to hear and the dumb to speak. Two little boys from Sturgis, Michigan, have they arrived? They called me yesterday afternoon. I see some little fellows coming in. Just a moment and we'll find out.
Ask that brother if he's from Sturgis. "Are you from Sturgis, sir?" All right, all right. Well, that's all right. You know what? God heals. You know that, so maybe your case might not do something that can be seen... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]
I could do for you, to help you in anyway and would not do it I'd be a cruel person and God would be the same. If I would be cruel for not helping you, if I could, and me a man, and you'd consider me cruel, which I would be, how much more would you consider God Who is omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent... How could you get by without calling Him cruel, if He wouldn't do it? But He has done it. He's only asked you one thing: to believe it. That's the only basis.

L-66 If He'd put, if you would pay so much money, look where you'd stand; you wouldn't got it. Well, if He'd say, "If you'll maybe do certain things that you couldn't do..." But there's one thing that's in reach of everybody: faith, just believe it. "The prayer of faith shall save the sick; God shall raise them up."
And if the heathen, Buddhas, and so forth, and unbelievers, raw heathens who worship idols can accept it and be healed of blind, deaf, paralyzed...
In South Africa that one prayer over the congregation, twenty-five thousand people got healed. Seven truck loads of crutches, and--and wheelchairs, and things that they'd packed their loved ones on, was picked up off the grounds after one prayer. Seven truck loads to clean the grounds for the next meeting...
Oh, God, we poor educated heathens, so full of doubt and fear, why do you do it? Oh, can't you cut loose every line this morning, where there is a fountain filled with Blood? "My ears are open; my heart's open; the seed's here. Come, Lord Jesus, and make it real to me." God will grant it.

L-67 Here stands an elderly man I met just a few minutes ago, coming in the door. He was here with gallbladder trouble years ago. God healed him, made him ever whit whole. Said, "Brother Branham, didn't know you was going to pray for the sick, so I come." He had a heart attack, said, "I come." Just leaning on things, and here he stands at the altar this morning now. After having prayer for him just a few minutes ago, here he's standing here. God's good, isn't He? He's a good God. He loves.

L-68 Now, to all you, I'm going to pray for every one of you right now. And I want to ask, how many people in here that's--that's able to be up have feeling for these sick people will pray this prayer with me as you raise your hand?
Now, what does the Bible say? "The prayer of faith shall save the sick. And if they lay their hands upon the sick, they shall recover." Is that right?
Now, you people that's standing in the line. I want you to pray this prayer. Now, I'm going to say it. You pray it. Now, with our heads bowed, all of you together, I want to stand here. I want you to pray.
